We'll talk about all that and more right now here.
It is our number one.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Upward and onward.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Welcome in the beginning of another night and another week.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Of the Benmalor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
We are in the air everywhere doing a little bit
of a happy dance as the madness of the postseason
rolls on coast, the coast, border.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
The border, and beyond all.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
The vast and massively powerful microphones of fsr M monating
live from the Bubbly, which is in the air everywhere.
We are broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios.

Tyract dot com the way tirebuind should be an og
Art puffin celebrating ten thousand times. And they're the rare
or rare inappropriate, rare and appropriate NFL Sunday into a
(02:07):
Monday now talking baseball and oh how sweet it is?
All the haters Garcia Cooper Loop, all of those are
these series that Dodgers, that Dyers are into the World Series.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Now, our league does come from that story in La La.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Land, the ballroom dance in Game six of the National
Legue Championship Series, and there was a contingent of these
annoying met fans that actually thought they were going to
win Game six and Game seven.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I was getting text.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Now I got it on both sides because I got
I probably know if you listen to the show. I
have a family lives in New York and my brother
moved there when I was a kid, and I have
other relatives live in the Air and so they're they're
like mixed. There's half Mets fans, half Yankee fans, but
the Mets fans one of the top five most annoying
fan bases.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
They were all, Oh, yeah, Dodgers are in trouble.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
They're gonna choke choke it all the way Francisco indoors
Mets heading into Los Angeles, try to get back even
and force the Game seven against Shoe Haltani and the Dodgers.
And you know what happened. I assume you watched, but
maybe not. It was on Fox. You should have watched
FS one. Tommy Edmund, who Tommy Edmund and Will Smith,
(03:29):
the fresh Prince of Chavez Ravine, had home runs and
they helped Shoe hal Tani punched his ticket to the
World Series for the first time. As the Dodgers have
exterminated Bye Bye, the Mets turn out the last the
parties over, No More October Baseball for You, ten to
(03:51):
five the final. The Dodgers win Game six, and so
they're back in the World Series. The Dodgers clinching their
twenty fifth National League pennant, and they're first at home
since Lesorda and the Boys did it back in nineteen
eighty eight. And they also beat the Mets, because who
doesn't beat the Mets. Everyone eventually beats the Mets. That
(04:11):
was in seven games. So the Dodgers now go to
their twenty second World Series. That seems like a lot.
It is thirteenth since they moved to La La Land
back in the day, and the first since the hardest
World Series of all time when they won in twenty
twenty during a global pandemic.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
So they can do it again. But let us discuss.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Let us discuss the better story normally in the losing locker.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Room, but not on this night. We'll start with the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
We'll get to the Mets in a minute, but the
better story here the Dodgers into the World Series, as
we will discuss the question for the esteem panel to
begin the festivities here, what is your riak shan to
Sho Haltani and the Dodgers not being choking bums and
actually getting to the World Series. So I've got pebble
(04:59):
one hit wonder and Kennel Club, and we will combine
all of these things.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Together and we are going to.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Make a very expensive laundry bill, which is what's going
to happen, as they have to fumigate the Dodger clubhouse
there from all the different alcoholic beverages that were everywhere,
all over the clothing and the whole thing. Anyway, So
a my first thought on this is bravo, bravo. I
am a skeptic that goes with the job, and we
(05:31):
are pleased. Pleasantly surprised. Pleasantly surprised is the way I
will describe this. Because the Dodgers had been guilty for
the last.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Two years, two years.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Of truancy, no show, no show against the Padres, that
pathetic Padre team a couple of years ago, and then
they really outdid themselves in suckage against the Diamondbacks last year.
But all of that is prologue. All of that is
in the past, and now it is on no more
(06:03):
Houdini act like they did against the Padres and the
Diamondbacks there they take care of San Diego and they
were strutting around like peacocks out there at Dodger Stadium,
and that steroid cheat. Fernando Tatise was dancing in the outfield,
egging on Dodger fans, and then they were I love
the Padres. They were encouraging fans to throw crap at
them and then seemed troubled that they were doing it
(06:25):
wild anyway. So they win that and they beat the Mets,
because why not. Everyone beats the Mets, and the Todgers
do it with In this game, they had a bullpen game,
which I hate. I cannot stand the bullpen game. But
fortunately Sean Maniah doesn't have big balls and he couldn't
get it done.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
He had an early, late, early lead.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Maniah, you guys have taught me how great Sean Mania
was and how wonderful all these Mets idiots, Oh Mania
suck god ha. He had a one nothing lead and
puked all over the mound, and I loved every little
ounce of puke that Sean and I are the Mets
left on the mound there at Dodger Stadium. And how
(07:05):
about Otani, who actually, unlike so many of these star
players who are dog food in big mallmuts Otani in
the playoffs. In this series, he've had three to sixty
four a couple of home runs six runs batted in
in the National League Championship Series. To be fair, though
the Dodgers scored at will against that pathetic met pitching staff,
they scored a ton of runs. But he lived up
(07:27):
to the light. Mookie Betts nice that he's not bowling.
I thought he'd be bowling by now in Nashville.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
He's not. That's encouraging.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
And even with Freddie Freeman unable to play, and when
he plays he looks like he's a thousand years old,
the Dodgers still able to get to the World Series.
And then on the other side, how do you sum
up Tommy Edmund the guy they got from the Cardinals
at the trade deadline, who couldn't even play at the
time they acquired him. But Tommy Edmond wins the nash
(07:54):
League Championship Series Most Valuable Player. So it's appropriate and
somewhat predictable. You might remember in a previous episode of
the show, we talked about the kind of players that
generally have success in playoff baseball, and Tommy Edmund is
right out of central casting right. He is the classic
(08:16):
postseason pebble, the pebble in the shoe. Tommy Edmund I know,
I look him up on Baseball Reference. He's like this
little slappening guy, Tommy Edmund. Those type of guys have
upstaged bigger stars in playoff series my entire life. And
yet teams often think, well, I don't need guys like that.
But when you look at teams that win, they usually
(08:38):
have somebody that has an out of body experience who's
not all that good. And Tommy Edmund batted four oh
seven in the National League Championship Series, eleven runs, batted
in three doubles, had a home run in the game.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Here he's an.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Agent provocateur and he lived up to that, and not
quite as good as I remember Eddie Rosario for the
Atlanta Breas back in twenty twenty one when he batted
five to sixty, although I think Edmund had more RBIs
than he did back then Eddie Rosario in that seriously
Atlanta Braves. But so the the Dodgers are into the
(09:12):
World Series. That means the Mets are out. And what happened?
You told me that Mets had all the magic they had,
that Met magic. You gotta believe, are you idiots in Wisconsin?
The Mets are going to the World Series. Because everything,
No that I had seventy five people send me that
effort stat about how everyone the Brewers lose two what
(09:33):
the playoffs goes to the World Series, not anymore? Shove
that stand up your keyster. That stat's done, and the
Mets are done losers.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
The Mets are losers. And I loved it. It was
so great, all of it. You know what happened to
the Mets. The Witching Hour, that's what happened to the Mets.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Okay, Cinderella's magic carriage turned back into a pumpkin, just
like peeing a lions that was a little pumpkin. But
in this case, they got the pumpkin too soon. This
is a rookie mistake. A lot of people makes Halloween
season right, Halloween's coming up, people make that rookie mistake.
You gotta you gotta buy the pumpkin at the right time,
because if you get the pumpkin too soon, what happens
(10:17):
to the pumpkin. It gets all moldy, It gets that
that fuzz inside the pumpkin and starts rotting. That's the Mets.
They started rotting. They got the pumpkin too soon. Bad
job by them, And so the Witching Hour came and
the pumpkin turned sour and that dumb OMG sign that's
(10:38):
turned to dust? What else we had Grimace who was
already drinking medello by the time they got the game.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Was it game four? I think he was drinking medello? Yeah,
that was That was outstanding.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
So the Mets done in of all things, not only
by the Witching Hour, but but a one hit wonder.
When I say one hit wonder, I'm talking about the
the group miss persons. And remember the tune. You've heard it,
You probably weren't around when it was there. Nobody walks
in LA except Met pitchers walking Dodger batters.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
That happens in LA.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
And thank you very much to the outstanding job by
the Mets pitching staff.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Total incompetence.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
And I look at throwing strikes as a big league
pitcher the top half percent of one percent that make
the major leagues, and you can't throw strikes. It's a
kin to an NBA player that can't make foul shouts.
No one is in your way now if you happen
to throw it down the middle of the plate. Statistic
everyone loves nerds in baseball, Statistically speaking by just throwing
(11:40):
it down the middle of the plate. The hitter will
get themselves out seven of ten times, seven of ten times.
And yet the Mets could not help themselves. They could not,
and the Dodgers feasted by just standing there and watching
the pitches go by.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
That's a very odd strategy, but it worked. That's how
bad the Mets are. It worked. You don't have to
get that many hits if they.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Just walk you, and then you get a hit when
the bases are two on or the bases are loaded,
because the Mets is set a walk everybody. But that
was the great equalizer in this series. So the Mets
are done and they'll go sign somebody. And listen, they
don't own it's got a lot of money. The Met's
gonna be in the playoffs every year because like the Dodgers,
they got a rich guy that owns the team. Dodgers
have a hedge fund that owns their team, and they
(12:27):
got one guy, Peter A.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Lowns, who's also his own hedge fund, or not Peter A.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Lowns or the Stephen Collen the owner there who will
spend big. Now the last word, we'll have plenty of
time this week. The World Series does not start till Friday,
but knee jerk reaction time. We love that in sports
talk radio. So knee jerk reaction. How do you rate
the World Series matchup between the New York Yankees and
the Los Angeles Dodgers. All right, so that's the matchup
(12:51):
two biggest teams in sports. On the Mallard scale, the
Malor scale of excitement one to ten, I am at.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I don't want to be shock jock guy.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I don't want to be over the top the Malard
scale of excitement for the World Series one to ten,
I'm about a five hundred and seventy eight. That's where
I am right now. And I think I'm going low
on that. I think I'm going low on that. It's
got a little bit everything. Two most popular teams in
the sport. Check you've got global appeal.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Check. Check, you've got the star power.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
You've got monster mashers here, there and everywhere, the biggest
contracts in the sport. And for TV executives, for TV
executives and Major League Baseball big shots, they are that
right now. They're like they work at the American Kennel Club. Okay,
the people who are doing television at Fox that are
(13:42):
broadcasting the World Series, and the people at Major League
Baseball and those that have bought ad time for the
World Series. It's like they're at the American Kennel Club.
They're like the dog running around with two tails. They're
so happy, it's orgasmic. What's this matchup? And it's it's perfect,
It's absolutely perfect, and it's gonna be you know, I
(14:04):
don't work for baseball, but it's gonna be a ratings motherlow.
They might have more people watching Japan and then in
the States, but the baseball ratings have been up in
the postseason. People have been captivated more so than in
years for the baseball playoffs. And it's the first time
since nineteen eighty one, nineteen eighty one that the Dodgers
and the Mets have played. Our Dodger and the Yankees
(14:25):
have played in the World Series. Betweens, all these players
who are being asked about the Dodgers and the Yankees
in the World Series, none of them were alive for
the most part when this was going on. Twelve meeting
all time. And so we'll see, you've got the Superman,
spider Man, what else you got Godzilla, King, King, I
(14:47):
don't know what any other historical matchups you want to
put out there, but it's gonna be fun to watch.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Cannot wait.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Starts on Friday, so we have plenty of time to
forget about it until Friday. And also the fact that
Dodgers and Mets played exact same way. Right, if you
had a doppelganger of Dave Roberts, who would be Aaron
Boone and vice versa. I mean, it's the same nerd ball,
that's what they play. You know, it's big money nerd ball.
And so that's the match. That's what we have in
the World Series.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
It is the Ben Maler Show.
Speaker 2 (15:13):

Tough day for Eddie. You'll be all right, Eddie, It's okay.
I know you were hoping the messoud win, but did.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Not worctually I wasn't. Actually I hate the Mets. No,
you wanted to mess when you said you and asked
last week, you hate me more than the Mets. You
want oh, I did.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
I did say, you're actually misquest.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
That's what I was told by the listeners. They told
me that.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Now he said the show is better when your team knows. No,
that was a great model. Ar I just nailed it.
That was ten out of ten. That's incorrect, but you
know there are exceptions to every rule.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Favorite team. Well, no, this is the.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Better stories the Dodgers winning. Everyone knows that, and good
guys won. Mickey and State forty eight right since its
great monologue opening the show with baseball again us minority
of people who actually enjoyed baseball the most appreciate the opening.
Too bad the World Series this year, small market teams
like New York and LA unlike Arlington and Phoenix from
(17:33):
last season, he says, sarcast Yes, Ryan says, Otani wants
to know the opening odds on the World Series. Very funny, Well,
the Dodgers. Actually, we don't know who's pitching. I would
assume Garrett Cole for the Yankees, and the Dodgers will
counter with Yamamoto or Flaherty. We don't know the matchup yet,
but the Dodgers opened up a minus one thirty favorite
(17:56):
in Game one Friday night in downtown LA and the
early money is on the Dodgers, which is odd because
you don't really know who's pitching in that game. But
that's where it is. Christopher writes, and he says, my
new sleep medicine will be the Yankees Dodgers playoffs with
(18:18):
every other game being a bullpenn session. I do hate it.
I can't stand it. I'm glad it worked. I despise
it. It makes me want to puke in my mouth watching
these bullpen games. I feel like I'm in Tempee or
somewhere in the Cactus League, somewhere watching the spring training game.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
And it's absurd.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
King Roy writes in says, you don't know how happy
I am as a Brewers fan that stat about the
World Series. There is no more I thank you and
your Dodgers. The Mets might have lost, the city of
New York is still getting a parade thanks to the
w NBA champion New York Liberty.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
I'm sure that'll be a fine parade.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
There'll be ten people there, congratulations, says King Roy. There now, asshole,
Mickey writes in, as a fellow masshole, I was bred
to dislike New York and LA teams, being a fan
of Boston Sports. However, here I am to declare that
I will be on team Benny in the World Series.
(19:16):
Could never root for a New York team. Remember, well,
that's easy mass whole mickey. No, they obvious Red Sox
fans for Dodgers, right, Red Sox fans for you got
Mookie Betts, you got Keith ke Hernandez Brazier the pitcher.
And there's a bunch of guys much other Joe Kelly.
All these guys were ex Red Sox who were on
the Dodgers. Now, the big test is our friends in
the Bay Area. All Right, will the Higante fan pull
(19:41):
for the Yankees even though Arson Judge plays for them? Right?
And Arson Judge had agreed to a contract. Corner John
Hayman he broke it that Arson Judge had agreed to
a contract with the Giants, and then it ended up
bailing out on that and is.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Back with the Yankee So we'll see about that.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Late night drug tester says the Dodgers and Yankees overcame
so much this postseason, especially the dreaded wild Card bye week.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
That is true.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
That is true that that story, which had been a
thing statistically teams that had time off had not done well.
They were talking about getting rid of that nature and
but it's you know, they both made it. Nature boy
Rights and says, the Yankees will want to give John
Sterling a world series chip very possible. Yeah, he'll be there, John,
I think gonna fly him out to LA's gonna be
(20:31):
all right on that long cross country flight.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
John Sterling.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Yeah, ferg Dog Rights and says, I'm glad the Dodgers
knocked out the Mets and everyone else should be Two
scientific polls approvemn The Ben Malor Show is definitely better
when your teams win.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
That's tracked.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
You're absolutely right, O g art Puffin says epic Mallard monologue.
How about them Dodgers, This bullpen is full of dogs,
he says. Yeah, Okay, ain't no stopping us.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Now.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
A world series for the agency, Dodgers and the Yankees.
Beware the big bad dogs. Yankees are coming uh there.
All right, we'll see about that. Let's go to the
phones international line. We go to Prague and we say, oh,
he was not screened. I talked to him off the
I gotta do two jobs here. Let's go down to
salsa in Prague where it's Was it eight thirty in
(21:22):
the morning in Prague sauce? Is that correct?
Speaker 5 (21:24):
And that is very much correct. People are walking to
work down the street. I just finished at an event,
a sausa event, at eight in the morning, so I'm
just getting back to my hotel.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
There's a somewhat What time did the things start? He
finished at eight in the morning? Was it six in
the morning? That thing started?
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Well, it started at eleven, but I didn't get there
until four a m.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
So it's an all night salsa situation in Prague. Yes,
and everyone was celebrating the Dodgers winning.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
Yes, I am now thanks for the update, because I
had no clue. I've been in a sports information vacuum.
I don't know anything that's happened in the sports world
for the past week.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Oh all right, well there you go. Well they don't
care about American sports in Europe. Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 5 (22:08):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Now, okay, because I keep telling you say the NFL, Like, oh,
the NFL, They're they're moving there, the team there eventually
somewhere in the UK, and they're gonna put a team there,
and everyone in Europe is gonna come to watch the
American football.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
And yeah, no, I don't think so, man, I haven't
met anyone here that knows anything about American football. Is
not a topical conversation.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
I understand. I understand, all right, Well you just try.
I love this.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
You you work for the airlines, You just travel around Europe.
You don't know where you're you don't even know where
you're going. Next to you, you're just hanging out.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Maybe that's very much correct. Prague was not on my
plans or places to go. So I came here for
this dance and it was azing. You and the white
got to get into this band.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I'm telling you, that's where it's at. Huh.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
You gotta go to the that's where.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
All right, Well, I.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Don't think we can afford to go to Prague on
a moment's notice, but I.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Gotta be honest. I didn't think prog and salsa dancing.
Once again, I did nothing.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Bad knowledge of Prague, Eddie, Apparently bad knowledge of Prague.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Then what else are they into the Prague? What do
they have?
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Great salta dancing in Prague, Budapest, Parish, Romania.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Well, Budapest, of course, you know a song, it's a
famous song. Yeah sure, all right, Well listen to salsa.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
You live in the dream, buddy, And did you spin
a wheel to decide where you're going next? You have
like a like a raffle with a bunch of city
names in it. Then you pick a name out. Is
that how it works?
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Actually? I pick where there's a good dance event and
then I go there.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
But how does one find a dance event in Prague?
I wouldn't know even where to look.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
You know, you meet people from different places, so you
have connections. So I'm a boy in London. I was
with him for three days. So he told me, man
go to Prague. So I just said, okay, I'll go
to Prague.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Okay, all right, well find out it's like we have
where's Waldo? Where's salsa in the world. We'll let you go.

And we'll talk more about this later because Gerrod Mayo
pointed out his team is saft. That's what he said,
which is actually actually reflection. Well, it's true, But isn't
he the one that's coaching them, so I shouldn't Doesn't
he have the power to toughen them up?
Speaker 1 (24:47):
And I guess not. I'm call the plays. He can't
play the plays. I guess no. But he picks who
plays and who doesn't. If guys aren't hustling and they're soft,
they should. You think he's not playing the tough guys.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
He's just playing the soft guys.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I say that is a direct reflection of I was coaching.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
We are rolling on and if you're planning on attending
Game one of the World Series, you might want to
take a page out of those old Western train robbery
things and get some gold bullion on the old Western Railroad.
The cheapest ticket at this hour to get into Game
one of the World Series was on Friday in La.
The cheapest ticket one thousand and eighty two dollars. Now,
(25:37):
what does one thousand and eighty two dollars get you?
It gets you a seat at the very end of
the upper deck at Dodges Stadium, right near the right field,
behind the foul pole at you're near the pearly gates,
like you have a view of Heaven where Lasorda.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Is hanging out there Blue Heaven and Ben.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Scully and those guys. Because that's how high up it is.
It's insane. But that's the cheapest ticket that is available
right now, one thousand and eighty two. Now, will our
old friend the bus driver be taking out another loan? Well,
p lea's making more money as a bus driver, Maybe
he will. I've not heard from him now. This is
according to I didn't spend a lot of time in this.
It was a minute long mallor investigation. Forget the luxury boxes,
(26:19):
because that's a different animal, the luxury boxes. But outside
of luxury boxes, the most expensive ticket that I have
found surfing the secondary market is behind the Yankee dugout.
Twenty thousand dollars a seat behind the Yankee dugout for
game one of the one.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
I'll just take two then.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Yeah, well no, that's brilliant though, because who's gonna buy
those these high falluton Wall Street losers that have so
much money right from Wall Street. They're like, oh, I
we'll just fly out to LA. We'll buy a couple
tickets behind the Yankee dugout. We'll pull for the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Why not. We're Yankee fans, you know, that's the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
So yeah, you stick it to the Yankee fans, and
the New Yorkers will come out to LA. Twenty thousand
dollars a ticket to sit behind the dugout. Now, behind
the Dodger dugout, you can get in. It's still expensive,
but it's like twelve thousand behind the Dodger dugout. So
there's an eight thousand dollars difference. Reasonable, Oh, very reasonable. Yeah,
you know what I'll be doing. I'll be watching on
(27:13):
my ass at home is what I'll be doing. I
will not be there, uh unless unless Matta from Heaven says,
you know, and I want to sit with Mount Marlin's Man. Now,
if he calls me up, I'm in. Marlin's Man is
my hookup. But unfortunately, I think he likes you. But
I don't know he likes you that much.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
And I'm not a beautiful woman. I last he likes
to sit with beautifulman, not even a beautiful man for
being No, I'm an ugly man. But but I'm very
nice with him, you know. I I'm very introverted, but
with him nice bot plight, you know, tell some stories
from the show and things like that. So if he
calls me up, and he hasn't been going to as
many games, he has some health problems. Marlin's Man hopefully's
doing better, we'll see what happens. But I know he's
(27:53):
got tickets right behind home play. He own season tickets
at Yankee Stadium right behind home play, so he's in
on that does not own season tickets right behind him
play the Dodger Stadium, So we'd have to buy those,
and that's an expensive He's got a lot of money.
But that's still that's still an expensive ticket right behind
home play. He's gotta be in the first three or
four rows you get on TV. Otherwise what's the point.
(28:14):
So uh yeah, that would be if he would have
buy me a ten thousand dollars ticket behind, that'd be
like the most that would be the most expensive gift
anyone's ever given me. I don't think it's gonna happen,
so I'll be watching at home, which is fine. The
food's better cheaper, I don't have to deal with traffic
at Dodger Stadium and all that nonsense and a bunch
of media honks.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
So that'll be the way to go. So the phones
will say hello to eeny meenie miney mall.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Let's say hello to Andrey, who's crying in his beer
as his Mets have been eliminated.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Hello Andrey, Good.
Speaker 6 (28:48):
Evening, Ben. Yes, it is sweet sorrow with the Amazing
getting knocked out of this postseason. Nonetheless, I will be
pushing all my chips into the middle for the pinstripes
in this juggernut of a matchup between the two Titan franchises,
Dodgers and the Yankees. What is just two out of
the three top pay rolls three hundred and twenty six million,
(29:11):
three hundred and twenty three million dollars.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
It ain't my money. They can spend, however much do
they want.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
I want every every employer to overpay their employees. I
want your whoever employs you andre to overpay you. I
want my bosses here to overpay me. I think we
should all be overpaid.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
Indeed, it's a free market. And by the way, that's
seven hundred million dollars that they gave the show Heyo Tani.
That looks like it's gonna pay itself off in the
first couple of years.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
As you've noticed, Well it's gonna it's gonna pay it
off because by the time they actually have to pay
that money, they're gonna sell the team and they won't
have to pay out that money or Tony you know,
they'll sell to somebody else.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
But that's ten years down the line.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
So that's when he gets the real money, once he
leaves California and doesn't have to pay California taxes.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
It's all gonna work out. But for the time being,
you got Tokyo, which is the largest city in the world,
thirty seven million people. What do they do at nine
o'clock in the morning, Okay, getting up to go to work. No,
they're sitting down and watch say Ho Shoho Tani. And
for my money, I think we're gonna have to change
their work schedule. I think it's gonna be twelve to
eight in Tokyo, resident nine to five.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Not only work, they work hard in Japan though, right,
they're hard working people. They don't cut corners. Isn't that
how that works there? So I don't know what they're
gonna do all the way now game but now game
games one and two are Friday and Saturday here, so
that's Saturday and Sunday in Japan, So that'll work.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Out unless they work on the weekends too, I don't know.
Maybe they do right.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
Right, they're gonna get five. But when it goes to
the point of fact, is Dodger seven hundred, you know
almost you know, a billion dollars, but all the new markets,
new eyeballs, major League Baseball, you know, Manfred, you know,
he's it's wonderful anyway, this series, I just feel like
it's to talk to you have tremendous star power on
both sides. It'll be good coming from the tri state
(30:54):
area right born in the great state of New Jersey.
Even though I root for the amazing I'm putting, as
I said, work for the pin I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Really, that's a tough I mean, you're a Mets fan.
You can't pull for the you cannot pull for the Yankees.
You're a Mets fan. What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Ben?
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Ben?
Speaker 6 (31:08):
But if I have my brothers, you know, if they're
playing the Phillies or if they're playing you know, but
they're playing team all the other on the other side
of the nation, I got, I got.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
You know what I mean, I understand that. But if
I mean the Yankees winning, that's another one. At least
the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
The Yankees haven't won. They haven't been to the World
Series in fifteen years. I haven't won it.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
They won oh nine was the last time they won,
so when they were in there. So it's been been
a long run of not winning.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
Been quite it has been quite a drought, even though
they've been spaying spending money. And frankly, you got money.
You know, you're in the city at Number sleeps, you know,
so they've got plenty of money. But bottom line, I'm
happy for baseball. You know on both sides, Dodgers, their
ownership group, Magic Johnson, so on and forth. Obviously, the
Yankee is a story tradition. It's just just a dream series.
It could go either way. I'll just feel again advantage
(31:53):
for me for the Yankees. But Mookie Bets Soohio tany
These these guys are all class acts.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
So it can be great to see all There goes
Andre from the Commonwealth where he goes only he knows.
So met fans are all worked up their panties in
a bunch. They're upset with Ken Rosenthal. What did Ken
Rosenthal do? If you're watching on FS one, Rosenthal pointed
out on the broadcast, he said that the Dodgers conceded
Games two and five, and then proceeded to put his
(32:21):
knee pads on and slurp all over Dave Roberts for
showing restraint in games two and five, because I would
argue that the series should not even gone to Game
six if Dave Roberts had actually tried to actually win.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Games two.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
In Game five, I was very upset with him leaving
Flarty in to get just absolutely pasted. When you win
that game and it's you know that's it. You mean
that's the final game. You have extra time to celebrate
now game two. That was ridiculous also, but Ken Rosenthal,
who's always one to suck up to certain managers, was
(32:57):
celebrating Dave Roberts.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Time now for who am I game? I am a journeyman.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Major League Baseball player who is garanteed to win a
World Series ring. No matter who wins the World Series
between the Yankees and Dodgers, I'm in. This guy's gonna
get a ring.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Who am I the answer? We'll get to it. We'll
do it next.

like offense as much as the next guy. But where
has all the pitching gone? I guess I'm officially the
old guy. Pedro's not walking through that door. Randy Johnson
not walking through that door. Yeah, and Alf, Not only that,
if Pedro Martinez and Randy Johnson pitched in modern baseball,
(34:15):
they'd go four and a third innings, is what they
were doing. They'd be taken out out of an abundance
of caution. They'd be taken out of the games, and
then they'd have Tommy john surgery every five years. That's
how it works in modern baseball. Now Stuck in Sacramento says,

LA for me and my son. Grand five rand for
